The Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Festival celebrated its 25th year with its famous program of events including everything from bog snorkelling to Australia's toughest sprint triathlon (swim leg pictured). Winton's second Way Out West Fest saw the town swell to nearly 10 times its size over the ANZAC Day weekend as almost 8,000 visitors delivered an anticipated $2 million economic boost.
Events will continue to boost Outback Queensland communities and their growing tourism industries over the next 18 months, with news that Round One of the Premier's Outback Events Program has received 73 applications from events seeking support for imaginative and innovation event concepts. Funding from the program will support Outback Queensland events in 2019 and 2020.
